A Riemannian Geometry Perspective on Foundation Models

Rex Ying
Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences, UT Austin
Oct 20, 2026

Oden Institute Seminar by Rex Ying (Yale University) on how non-Euclidean geometries, particularly hyperbolic geometry, can enhance foundation models by better capturing hierarchies and symmetries in real-world data, with applications across Transformers, language model training, multimodal systems, and recommender systems.

Llama 3.1 Paper: The Llama Family of Models

Vibhu Sapra
Jul 29, 2024

Modern artificial intelligence (AI) systems are powered by foundation models. This paper presents a new set of foundation models, called Llama 3. It is a herd of language models that natively support multilinguality, coding, reasoning, and tool usage. Our largest model is a dense Transformer with 405B parameters and a context window of up to 128K tokens. This paper presents an extensive empirical evaluation of Llama 3. We find that Llama 3 delivers comparable quality to leading language models such as GPT-4 on a plethora of tasks. We publicly release Llama 3, including pre-trained and post-trained versions of the 405B parameter language model and our Llama Guard 3 model for input and output safety. The paper also presents the results of experiments in which we integrate image, video, and speech capabilities into Llama 3 via a compositional approach. We observe this approach performs competitively with the state-of-the-art on image, video, and speech recognition tasks. The resulting models are not yet being broadly released as they are still under development.
